Taking advantage of old people!

I subscribe to many publications, and am a "member" of various organizations related to my pastimes and hobbies. Recently I received the following offers:

A "lifetime" membership in one organization for $275. Annually right now it is about $20.
Twelve monthly issues free if I renew now and pay for an additional 24 months on a subscription I just renewed for 12 months in July.

Neither sound like good investments for me! :lol: :lol:

If you're over 60, you're right: actuarially speaking it's a bad deal. Unless you could pass the LT subscription on to your offspring like they were Packers season tix. :lol:

Your comment made me curious, so I looked it up. Male life expectancy at birth is a shade under 75. However, at age 60 male life expectancy is slightly over 20 additional years, to age 80+. At age 110, male life expectancy is less than a year.

My bad, I was using similar figures but was doing the math as if the cost were $475, not $275. So take the deal if you're >60 and < 70! If you are 110, buy the subscription and send me the bill.

For my dad's 84th birthday, I asked him what he wanted and he said, "another birthday." He got two more, but I really couldn't be depended on to deliver them so I got him a Packer sweatshirt.

That's an interesting request since one of our favorite Packer hoodies has more than once shared that he wouldn't mind being buried in you.
